Following email is from Matt Befus.
We survived the trip up Pico Blanco. We took a LONG time to get both up and down, and that along with Lisa running out of gas (twice) on the way to pick us up caused us to miss church in the evening. One of the Leadertreks-Wheaton Academy teams is here working at the school as of today. They planned to work at a church, but they can no longer get there because its in the area affected by the earthquake. The church itself is okay, but there is no access. So...we have 18 able-bodied juniors and seniors here. They are doing a conversational English program with our students in the English-orientation class, and they will be working a VBS program in by brother's church on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The rest of the time they will be filling and compacting the four classrooms and digging a trench of the irregation system (from the well to the top of the hill).
Side note: My Dad's wake and funeral went well. Had good conversations with family members and friends. Thank you again for your prayers during this time.
Hope to get on the 6am flight back to Costa Rica tomorrow Lord willing. If the flight is delayed because of the Blizzard Ashley and I will keep each other company waiting for our flights to depart O'Hare. Ashley needs to get back to Waco to teach her 1st grade class and to graduate this May from Baylor University. She also has a indoor track meet this Saturday and needs to be ready for that.
